What is happening? – Having read the comments left I am somewhat wondering what is happening with the site. I have been a member for 20 years now - gold member for the majority of that time. Today I tried to verify my identification on Verrify or however it is spelt and after spending some time on this was unsuccessful apparently???? The site appears to be quite… Read more
basic and there is no where to upgrade back to gold after having it expire on 24.11.24..... I have sent 3 x emails to rewards central and I await a reply.
Not a good rewards program anymore – Used to be a good site, they have recently (secretly) taken off the experience points. This means, there are no benefit to long term loyal customers. Now it has become just a dumb rewards program.
ScamCentral – Used to be a good site, absolute scammers who don’t respond to emails or complaints now. Do not honour rewards accumulated. DO NOT USE THIS SITE!

ID Verification – I have about 3000 points. Instant cash-out states: "You need to verify your ID before you can redeem your rewards. Click here to verify your ID now" They request a copy of your Drivers Licence or Passport. ALARM BELLS START RINGING FOR ME. I've been a webmaster for 26 years. No website of this nature should ever request such documents. I… Read more
strongly advise against providing such identification ever. I have contacted Australia's Scamwatch service. These guys do great work. I will report the outcome here in time.
I won't give it any star. It's a dirty Business owner [Name Removed] - a honkies who scams unsuspecting people – The fact that they use fake reviews on other sites when you search, and no social media presence tells itself. They ask me to click links, earned points claimed to be able to convert to pints but the Button was disabled. I have never be able to get any $. You also risk your ID and bank details be in unknown hands. They ask ask me to do a survey… Read more
after I send my ID to verify myself to answer questions to promote pornography. waste time? Morally-crupt? You judge yourself.
Gone are the days – Gone are the days that I made some cash from RewardsCentral. I've been a member since around 2008. I wanted to redeem $50 as I had saved up so many points over the years and went through the verification process (something that I didn't have to do years ago when I redeemed my points). All the trouble of taking a selfie, driver's license were to no… Read more
avail, my verification was rejected. I'll never visit this annoying site again. I agree with everyone who wrote a negative review before me, they are all right. I hope we will all find a better and more honest site to make some cash, lovely people!
Ebank – @Simon S - re: i think we could have enough ppl here for a class action I cannot defend the actions that may have occurred for you; however, I can confirm has not happened to my previous ebank balances, I am about due for another and can keep you posted. What I can comment to is that over the years the benefits have slowly been stripped away.… Read more
First when they demerged and split off with Myopinions many years ago, Further to this we no longer receive

One of the latest removals is Online shopping has been moved out to Cashrewards
Positive reviews
They are reasonable and answered within a few days – My account was locked because I didn't use it for a long time and when I requested reactivation they used common sense to judiciously balance their requirements and my requests. I am very pleased
They are still a good rewards site ☺️☺️ – Customer care is still well and true with rewardscentral having been a longtime member I had the most incredible help via the customer care team though I'm sad to see the gold Ebank not there anymore though I have always loved the Ebank term deposit feature gold membership has been frozen though. on the upside instead of the rewardscentral… Read more
shopping it's now cashrewards so that's awesome would be amazing to see them produce an app maybe with a spin wheel instead of the guessing game? Idk it may or may not be as pizzazz as it was all those years ago but it's one of the original multi survey sites and one of the most unique I've yet to find another with the good old rock paper scissors, or an e-term deposit bank. so I am loyal to the brand and want to express my gratitude for keeping this site alive and active ☺️☺️ fingers crossed we get an app sometime soon xo
Good survey site – Quite enjoy this site, everyday I log on to take part in the guessing game but haven't had any luck winning anything from that yet. Have picked up my first giftcard which was $20 for doing surveys whenever I get the chance. it has taken a while to get to that level as don't always have time for the longer surveys, but still it is a bonus to get something for just doing surveys online
Negative reviews
SCAM WEBSITE - AVOID!! – This supposed survey website is a scam! I have been a member with them for many years and from the beginning they had lots of red flags. The first being that I wasn't awarded points for not only completed surveys but in person tasks that would provide high amounts of points worth around 5000 and never receiving them. I emailed numerous times and never heard back. This website needs to be shut down for all of their fraudulent activities.
This is not the No. 1 rewards website you are looking for – RewardsCentral is very disappointing!! I have been a member since 2003. I had Gold Membership and that's now gone. They haven't replied to any of my messages for years. I have over 22000 points and I want to redeem them, but can't. I have tried to get verified, but can't. When I try to verify it says "You are verified". On Google Maps, it says they are 'Temporarily closed". This is not the No. 1 rewards website.

I.D verification – All this stuff about needing to provide I.D and have it verified is nothing to do with any survey site It's a change in PayPal and their rules You may not want to claim through PayPal but because the sites are affiliated with them you need verification via a drivers licence or Photo I.D even to claim gift cards NO I DON'T WORK FOR EITHER PAYPAL OR ANY SURVEY SITE

Worse site – Like a lot of others I have been a member for a long time, 16 years plus. I haven't had any proper surveys for years. Up until about 2 weeks ago I was still getting the quick survey link to at least get 3 points daily. And I was a gold member so just banked points up trying to get to the 1500 for bonus payment. Gold membership disappeared and not… Read more
available to get now, I had used points for that so not out of money directly. Lucky for me I cashed out moneys as soon as I had enough points through the years and made a nice little sum. Used to love getting that $30 every 3 months or so.
By the sound of it, the site has just been slowly knocking people off one by one. If their intent is to completely shut down, why not advise us and just do it instead of dragging it out and letting people think it is still a valid site.
Report to the ACCC Scamwatch – I have been a member for over 10 years. I now have 1500 experience which is enough for a $100 gift card according to their stated terms and conditions. However, no reward has been sent to me. There is no response to emails. This website is now a fraudulent enterprise and I will report to ACCC.
Has become a scam – As many users have reported - there is no more response from the site. I had a very large amount of points I was hoping on cashing in but it's not possible to do it and there is no one who answers when you write to support. I have been with them since they opened - so yes, I do have a lot of points I was banking. :( Now, the new update is I cannot login anymore either!
Used to be good but now have gone quiet – I have been with the platform for quite a number of years. Up to a year or two ago they were fantastic and everything worked as it should. However, over the past year or two, I had been investing my points into their eBank feature, expecting to earn the interest as promised. At each maturity, I would get back my initial points but no interest was… Read more
being paid by the business. Their support is useless as they never respond to your messages, which is the only form of contact. I am even having trouble with cashing out my points and have no support to assist. This business is not worth getting involved with. I have referred the matter to the ACCC.
Crooks running this site – I’ve earned a $100 gift card but it’s not being honoured, emails never get a response. Do not waste your time with this scam company.
Scam company – I stopped using Rewards Central for quite some time. Tried to use it again but my account was frozen. I filled in a form to reinstate my account/unfreeze it. It also asked for photo ID, so I sent my driver's license. Seems very fraudulent that they ask for such personal information and then weeks pass with no reply, no matter how many times you reach out. I'd like to know what they are doing with my personal information. Completely dodgy!!!
Unprofessional – I have been a member for quite a few years and have seen Rewards Central become less and less generous. They have taken away the Gold membership without any communication and have stopped paying cash for points. One cannot easily earn points or experience. I recently achieved 1500 experience which supposedly earns me a $100 E gift. I have not received it nor has there been any communication about it. Extremely disappointing!
They offer everything and give nothing – Dont waste your time one minute you are a gold paid member then its taken away for no reason. They never reply to emails and are a complete rip off

Cashout – Irritated 3098 points short of the $100 gift card been putting points in ebank and had not noticed until today that no interest given for several months now, been with them for years and I'm not impressed!!!!! I just want the interest I've earn and the $$$$
the games – RewardsCentral offers the free guessing game choose six to seven numbers between 1 and 10,000. Not once have I received 2,000 points being a member more than 12 years. Yet myopinions had a game selecting a number square occasionally getting 500, 200, 100 or 50 points now and then.
Waste of time – this site USED to be great, I've been a member for many many years, I was with the site when they were called Email Cash. Now they wont even answer emails, They have changed the rewards system to "gift cards only" and devalued the points system, Even worse, the gift cards they offer are useless to most people. There is no longer an option for cash out, or have a Paypal payment. I wish i could leave negative stars :(
No responses – I have been a member for many years, verified, can only play guessing game and no emails now for any surveys. No response regarding why no emails. Not earning any points for quick surveys, only guessing competition seems to be running and no wins there either. A big waste of time these days.
Don't bother with Rewards Central – Been a member for over 15 years and was a great site back in the day. Now I can't even cash out the last of the funds. Never recieve the txt for instant cash and they never respond to emails. Very disappointing
Once Great – I have been a member since January 2005. Used to be a Gold Member, then couldn't renew. Surveys and Quick Surveys just dried up. I used to make $200 a year, now nothing. Only thing left is the guessing game. Emails are no longer answered. Very disappointed.
I loved rewards Central but – good for those who spend a lot of time on their computer to make some extra cash doing surveys. But don't stop logging in or you'll be deactivated. Then you'll have trouble reactivating to be able to reuse and access your cash.
Not happy, they will not verify – They will not let me verify my account to get money out, I have just read other reviews, is there anything can be done about this. I have been a member for years
Appalling! – Sadly, I relate to ALL the negative reviews on this site. I have been a Gold Member since 2005. It was a good site ONCE but has been going downhill for years. I persevered hoping it may come good but is now a 'rip off'. The fact that my emails and polite requests for help regarding such things as suddenly no emails, banking points problems , no… Read more
way to earn points etc etc etc suddenly is very upsetting after being a loyal member for years. Being contacted recently for money to renew my Gold Membership is the last straw! What a waste of time and effort! This is NOT the way to treat members!
Total scammers – I have been a member for over 10 years , but in the last 5 months , the site is asking for Verification drivers licence passport personal information photo id , I have 47335 points and am unable to claim them , as I belive the site is ghosting its members in order not to pay. They have removed the cash payout feature also , but we are unable to… Read more
cash out the instant cash gift cards as I have sent numerous e-mails but no response , do not give your personal photo id details as I believe it will be used for identity theft .It used to be a fantastic site , but since the loss of my opinions , and shopping its gone downhill . Oh well looks like plenty people lost their money , it would be great if we could all get together and instigate a class action . Good luck to us all
Rewards? – Rewards? Or the lack thereof. That' s kind of false and mis leading. I have been a member since 2004 (from way back when they were emailcash). Was a good survey site back then, but over the years it has removed much of what has made this site great. It has removed features, surveys and lower the odds that you would get any points. Have been… Read more
trying to get enough pints up to cash out. This constantly just seems out of reach. To achieve a $50 cash out you now need 7300 points (that's $73 dollars) The interest on the points is a waste of time. Good luck emailing them for help, there isn't any And now it It is now asking me for more verification to eliminate money laundering and fraud? God help me if I am laundering money at their rate of returns! I have had my issues with this site in the past, but I now no longer trust this site and would advise to avoid Your pre fill profile answers will result in spam, scams, and identity theft.
Update, after a long and unsuccessful attempt to claim my last of the points, was told many conflicting stories by a representative shortly after arguing a case with the ACCC. Convenient? I have now forfeited my points, considerable after 18 years, and will now proceed with an online campaign to ensure others avoid this site like the plague. Their slogan "Australia's number one paid survey site" is a blatant case of false and misleading advertising. Enlist at own risk. You have been warned!
